    Gotta tell ya "nothing" beats the TT. Don't wanna mess anybody up but I do not miss my 997S. For the highways and straight shot passing requirements they offer, nothing beats the hp/tq. I have no twisties, taken at an insane rate, so I have never missed the finer steering/handling characteristics of the C2S.

    Yeah, maybe I should face it: My name is MMD and my C2S turned me into a HP/Tq junkie.

    However it's gotta be a Pcar because of the performance, handling, safety and quality level. "Anything less would be uncivilized." LOL. Sorry.

    Agreed. No other car provides the perfect balance of performance, handling, safety and quality level; not to mention everyday drivability, as a Porsche.

    sounds like you'll be driving a tiptronic... go for the TT... if you are a fan of a manual stick, I'd say GT3, NO DOUBT...
